The answer would be $0.72. Because 2.88 dived by 4 equals .72. How did I get that answer you ask. Well it states that he buys one fourth of a pound of crackers. 1/4 is a division problem believe it or not. You divide it by four because four is the denominator. It basically is splitting the pound into fourths

You are at a family reunion and the cooler contains ten bottles of soda; four Sprite, three Dr. Pepper, and three Cherry Coke. T

Answer:

Probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = $\frac{1}7$

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = $\frac{1}{3}$

Combined probability = $\frac{1}{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

It is given that first time a Cherry coke is chosen and it is not replaced.

So, number of cherry coke left = 2

Dr. Pepper is chosen twice and is not replaced, so

Number of Dr. Pepper left = 3 - 2 = 1

Total number of soda left = 10 - 3 = 7

So, probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = $\frac{1}7$

Now, total number of soda left = 7 - 1 = 6

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

The combined probability = probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time multiplied with Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}7 \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{21}$

Coach Johnson need to buy shin guards for junior varsity and varsity basketball players the following package of shin guards are

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the best deal, we first want to consider price per unit. To find the price per unit, we divide the price by the number of units. For the 10 shin guard package, our price is 14.50, and we divide that by 10 to get 1.45 . Therefore, our unit price for the package of 10 is $1.45 per shin guard. Similarly, we can find the unit price for the package of 15 to be 22.5/15 = $1.50 per shin guard. As 1.50 is greater than 1.45, the lowest unit price is for the package of 10.

The question is asking for us to compare the prices if we bought 30 of each. For the package of 10, we get 1.45*30 (as we're buying 30 for 1.45) = 43.5 as the total price, and for the package of 15, we get 1.5*30 = 45 as our price. As 15 and 10 are both factors of 30, we don't need to worry about converting it back into packages of 10/15. The difference between buying 30 at the lowest and highest unit price is therefore (45-43.5)=1.5 dollars
